Paphos Airport Car Rental Meet & Greet: Complete Rentamania Pickup & Return Guide
AIRPORT GUIDE Paphos Airport Car Rental Meet & Greet: Complete Rentamania Pickup & Return Guide
Last updated: August 2026
Arriving at Paphos Airport and wondering how to collect your rental car from Rentamania?
The process is designed to be simple. Rentamania LTD uses a meet-and-greet service rather than requiring customers to find a traditional rental desk inside Paphos Airport.
After you collect your luggage, leave the terminal, cross the pedestrian crossing directly in front of the airport and walk towards Costa Coffee. A Rentamania representative will be waiting near the café with a Rentamania LTD sign.
Your booking is normally confirmed before arrival, your flight can be monitored by the Rentamania team, and the representative will guide you through payment, vehicle inspection, handover and the first steps of your journey in Cyprus.
▶ Watch the full route (57 seconds): from the arrivals hall to driving out of the airport.
QUICK Quick Answer: How Does Rentamania Airport Pickup Work?
If you have booked a rental car with Rentamania, the basic process is:
- Land at Paphos Airport
- Collect your luggage
- Leave the airport terminal
- Cross the pedestrian crossing directly in front of the terminal
- Find Costa Coffee
- Look for the Rentamania representative holding a Rentamania LTD sign
- Complete payment and any necessary formalities
- Inspect the vehicle together
- Receive the keys and a short vehicle/road briefing
- Start your journey
If your flight is delayed, you generally do not need to do anything. Rentamania monitors the scheduled arrival and coordinates the meeting accordingly.
01 Before You Arrive at Paphos Airport
Your airport pickup starts before your flight lands.
When you make a booking through the Rentamania website, the company receives your booking information and contact details, including your telephone number and, where available, WhatsApp contact information.
Because Rentamania does not normally require customers to make a prepayment when booking, a manager will usually contact you approximately one day before your arrival to confirm the reservation.
At this stage, the team can confirm:
- your booking;
- your arrival details;
- your contact information;
- your expected arrival time;
- the arrangements for meeting at Paphos Airport.
Communication can then continue through WhatsApp, making it easier to coordinate the arrival.
Do I need to contact Rentamania when I land?
Usually, you can simply follow the agreed meeting instructions.
The Rentamania team monitors your arrival and knows approximately when passengers are expected to leave the terminal after passport control and baggage collection.
Paphos Airport is relatively compact, so finding the meeting point is straightforward.
02 Where Do I Meet Rentamania at Paphos Airport?
This is the most important part to remember.
After landing:
Step 1 — Collect your luggage
Complete the normal arrival process and collect your baggage.
Step 2 — Leave the terminal
Follow the signs towards the airport exit.
Step 3 — Cross the pedestrian crossing
Immediately outside the terminal, cross the pedestrian crossing directly in front of the airport.
Step 4 — Find Costa Coffee
You will see Costa Coffee directly opposite the airport terminal.
Step 5 — Look for the Rentamania representative
Rentamania representatives wait in the area near Costa Coffee.
They will be holding a Rentamania LTD sign so that you can identify them.
Important. You do not need to search around the airport for a Rentamania desk. The meeting point is outside the terminal, near Costa Coffee.
03 What If I Don't Have Mobile Internet or My Phone Doesn't Work?
This is a common concern when arriving in another country, but it should not prevent you from finding your rental car.
Paphos Airport has Wi-Fi, and most customers can connect to it after arriving.
If necessary, the Rentamania representative can also help you connect to Wi-Fi.
Even if you cannot use your phone, WhatsApp or mobile data, you can still:
- leave the terminal;
- cross the pedestrian crossing;
- go to Costa Coffee;
- look for the Rentamania LTD sign.
Because the airport is relatively small and the meeting point is clearly defined, you should not need to rely entirely on mobile communication to find the representative.
04 What If My Flight Is Delayed?
You generally do not need to do anything.
Rentamania monitors the expected flight arrival and understands that the actual arrival time may change.
If your flight arrives later than originally scheduled, the Rentamania representative can adjust the meeting accordingly.
There is therefore no need to panic if:
- your aircraft is delayed;
- passport control takes longer than expected;
- baggage collection takes longer than expected.
The important thing is that Rentamania has your arrival information and can coordinate the meeting.
If your flight is significantly changed or you receive a new flight number, contacting Rentamania through WhatsApp is still recommended whenever possible.
05 What Happens When I Meet the Rentamania Representative?
If your rental has already been booked, the process at the meeting point is generally straightforward.
There is normally no need to start the rental process from the beginning.
The representative will help you complete the remaining steps, including:
- payment;
- document verification;
- vehicle inspection;
- vehicle handover;
- explanation of basic vehicle operation;
- explanation of important rental conditions.
The aim is to get you on the road without unnecessary waiting.
06 How Do I Pay for My Rental Car?
Rentamania accepts several payment methods.
Depending on your circumstances, payment can be made:
- through an online payment link;
- in cash;
- using Revolut;
- through other available payment methods accepted by the company.
The Rentamania representative can provide the necessary payment link and, where required, help you access it using available Wi-Fi.
Prefer to pay in cash?
If you are uncomfortable using your card or online payment while travelling, you can prepare the required amount in cash.
The important point is that you are not limited to a single payment method at the airport.
07 Which Documents Do I Need?
You should have two main documents available:
- a valid driving licence;
- your passport or ID card.
Keep these documents easily accessible when meeting the Rentamania representative.
Depending on your particular circumstances and booking, additional documentation may be required. If there is anything specific to your rental, it should be clarified with the Rentamania team before arrival.
08 Inspecting the Rental Car
Before leaving with the vehicle, you should inspect it together with the Rentamania representative.
This is an important step for both you and the rental company.
We recommend making a short 360-degree video of the vehicle and taking photographs of visible damage.
Pay particular attention to:
- scratches;
- dents;
- damaged body panels;
- wheels;
- mirrors;
- windscreen;
- other visible exterior damage.
Your Rentamania representative can show you where previously identified damage is located.
Why should I take photos and video?
Keeping your own record gives you a clear reference for the condition of the vehicle when you received it.
Keep the photos and video until your rental has been completed and your deposit has been released.
For a more detailed explanation of rental-car inspection, see our dedicated vehicle inspection guide.
09 What Does the Rentamania Representative Explain Before I Leave?
The handover is not simply:
keys → goodbye.
The representative will give you a basic introduction to the vehicle and important aspects of driving in Cyprus.
This can include:
- how to start and operate the vehicle;
- basic vehicle controls;
- important local driving considerations;
- relevant Cyprus road rules;
- where you can and cannot drive under the rental agreement;
- mileage limitations, where applicable;
- important insurance and responsibility provisions;
- basic rental conditions;
- places worth visiting;
- areas or roads where you should take particular care.
This short briefing is particularly useful if you have not driven in Cyprus before.
10 What If I Am Tired After a Long Flight?
You do not have to drive immediately if you do not feel comfortable doing so.
If you have had a long flight and do not feel well enough to drive, tell the Rentamania representative.
Where possible, a Rentamania manager can drive you to your destination in Paphos instead. This is provided without an additional charge as part of the company's customer service in these circumstances.
This can be particularly useful for customers arriving after a long overnight journey or for anyone who does not feel confident beginning a left-hand-driving journey immediately after landing.
11 Leaving Paphos Airport in Your Rental Car
Once the vehicle handover is complete, you can leave the airport.
The airport exit includes a barrier system.
Your Rentamania representative will explain the procedure and provide the necessary ticket for the airport exit.
You will then follow the airport road towards the roundabout and continue towards Paphos.
For drivers accustomed to left-hand traffic, the route is straightforward.
If you are unfamiliar with driving on the left, take your time during the first few minutes and pay particular attention to lane positioning and roundabouts.
From Paphos Airport, many destinations in Paphos can typically be reached in approximately 25–30 minutes, depending on your exact destination and traffic.
12 What If I Have Never Driven on the Left Before?
Cyprus drives on the left-hand side of the road.
If you normally drive on the right, the first few minutes can require some concentration.
The Rentamania representative can explain the basic local driving conventions before you leave.
Take particular care with:
- roundabouts;
- lane positioning;
- turning;
- road signs;
- parking;
- entering and leaving junctions.
Do not rush.
Your first priority after a long flight should be getting comfortable with the vehicle and the road system.
13 What Happens With a Late-Night Arrival?
Rentamania can arrange meet-and-greet for late arrivals.
For night-time meet-and-greet, an additional €20 fee applies. This covers the additional cost of providing a representative for the night shift.
If your flight arrives late at night, the airport pickup process remains essentially the same:
Arrivals → luggage → airport exit → pedestrian crossing → Costa Coffee → Rentamania representative.
14 What Happens When I Return the Rental Car?
The return process is designed to use the same simple meeting-point concept.
Before your departure, Rentamania will normally contact you through WhatsApp to confirm:
- your departure time;
- your return time;
- whether your flight schedule has changed;
- the agreed vehicle return arrangements.
The vehicle is returned at the agreed meeting point near Costa Coffee at Paphos Airport.
The Rentamania representative will meet you, inspect the vehicle and complete the return procedure.
15 What Happens to My Deposit After I Return the Car?
Once the vehicle has been returned and the relevant checks have been completed, Rentamania releases the deposit immediately from its side.
However, this does not necessarily mean that the money will appear back in your account immediately.
The actual time required depends on:
- your bank;
- your card issuer;
- your payment provider;
- the payment system used for the deposit.
Depending on the payment method, the release may be visible:
- immediately;
- after several days;
- in some cases, after a longer processing period.
Important distinction. Rentamania releases the deposit immediately. The time it takes for the released amount to become available to you is controlled by the relevant bank or payment provider.
If you experience a delay, Rentamania can provide documentation confirming that the deposit has been released. You can then contact your bank or payment provider if you need the process investigated or accelerated.
